The sentiment wu received with enth as tattle applause. Otje Radical contemporaries are suffering groat grief and anxiety at present on ao-aonnt ol the danjer that Demooratlo yotera axe going, to be "aold out" to the Liberal Republicans. This taddea outbreak of ajmpathy for the, unhappy Demooracy, from a quarter whence nothing but malignant abuse usually prooeeds, oonld hardly sat a been expected. It la Tery touching. Down in Georgia the negroes are coming to the belief that they are not fitted for the role of politician and that they had better do leae voting and more work.

A an llloe. tratlon, when the Radical State Senator In the Tenth District resigned, where the ne-troea hare 6,000 majority, the Democrati looted their candidate, although part of their vote was thrown away on another Pemocrat, The New York Legislature, like that or Ohio, has prominently before it the qnea. 1 tlon of liqnor prohibition." The dtbate on St brought ont the fact that the Republican majority had pledged themselves before election to pais a law authorizing the peo pie to declare by ballot at elections whether the sale of intoxicating liquors as a sever age should be prohibited in their reipeotlre towns and counties. From a reipect for the German vote there was a Tery general sleaire to omit lager beer from the proposed drylng up of the liquor fountain. The late terrible diauter to the steamer Ooeanus by aa explosion of ita boilers is' suggestive, to those who have paid any at-, 1 tentlon to the matter, that the great major-' ity of such dlaasteia always occur In the spring, when there la high water.

Then tte rapidity of the current oompeii the put-. ting on of an additional and unusual qunn-v tlty of steam, which pracUoally trlea the weak boiltrs, and the remit la a frightful explcilon. It does seem as If some system of inspection and regulation of our river voata could be devleed that would render auch calamities aa that of the Octaaue of 7Ji instead of such frequent, occurrence, 1 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, MONDAY MORNING, r-? Charlee rraaeU Adaata sal the rUUal BaoarA sf XLU Family. The prominence which Charles Francis Adams, of siischuaatts, Is obtaining as the candidate of the Cincinnati Convention igainit General Grant, render his antecedents and those of bis family Interesting. Bs belongs to a family tree vfhioh, as Euros Cboate once "blosaomed twice with Ills grandfather, John Adams, our seoond President, was eleoted by the Federal party against Thomas Jrfhrsom.

It was during his Administration that ths highhanded mtasureadt the Allen and Sedition Laws and the quasi war with France were adopted. They were against tte better Judgment. as well ss ths demooratlo In-itlnots of Mr. Adams, They were forced upon him bj- the Influence or bis Cabinet, which was entirely in the Interest of Al kxandbr Hamilton, who, beyond any doubt, was a aeml-monarohist, and ths power of the organization which his talent and position contributed in Its behalf. Hamilton had no oonfldence in the Federalism of Adams, and helped to defeat his re-election by his effort to make Charles C.

riNCKNRT, of South Carolina, President in his stead. Adams discovered Hamilton's treachery, suddenly mads pesos with France, and kicked his Cabinet all out of office and reverted things generally. Returning homo to Massachusetts he found ths Federal leaders of the Hamilton stripe, and accordingly, when the Presidential election of 1804 rolled around, he voted for Thomas Jbfkirson himself, and by his in. fluenoe csrrled Massachusetts for a Demooratlo President the first and only time that she ever cist suoh a ballot. Ills son, John Qvixct Adams, the father of Chas.

FRAKpifl, had, in the mean time, espoused the Federsl side, and was by that party elected to the Senate of the United States. 'While there he was instructed by ths Fed. eial Legislature to vote for ths repeal of the "Embargo Laws," ss they were oalled a Demooratlo measure of restriction upon foreign commerce that was preparatory to a war with England. He consulted his father as to what he should do; was told by him that he tad made a mistake In being connected with ths Federals as they were then organized; was advised to disobey the instructions, vote for the Embargo Laws, and then resign his seat in the Senate. He did, so, and it at onoe put him in the Demooratlo line.

He was appointed Minister to Russia by President Madison; was one of ths Commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, whloh concluded the second war with Great Britain; wu next Minister to England, and finally waa Secretary of Stale under the Demo? oratlo President, Monroe. In 1824 he was eleoted President, claiming to be a Demo- crat, although supported by the body of the Federal party. In the new organisation of parties he was a Whig, but of suoh anti-slavery sympathies that, for years, he had but little Influence in the National Councils. His son, Charlrs Francis, waa born in Boston, August 1, 1807, and is, therefore, sixty-five years old. He graduated in Harvard College in 1825, and then studied law in ths office of Daniel Wib- btbr, in Boston.

He married the daugh ter of Prtrr C. Brooks, a Boston mill-ion aire, and thus became a brother-ln. law of Edward Everett. He served several eara in both branohea of the Legislates of Massachusetts. In 1848 he separated from the Whig party, refused to support General Taylor for President (by ths by, ths Adambrs never liked Generals in civil positions) and ran fur Yloe-Presldent on the Freesoil Buffalo Platform ticket, with Martin Tan Bcrrn (a Demooratlo ex-President) for President.

In 1801 President Lincoln appointed him Minister to Great Britain, where he remained until 1W0. His grandfather had been Minister to England just after the old Revolution; his father wss Minister Ju.it after the second war with that power; sad Charles Francis wss Minister during the war of the Rebellion, and managed our side with great ability in the Alabama controversy. This comprises his politloal life. Ons of the framera of ths Republloan party, there is nothing in his record or in his antecedents that would forbid his being cordially aup. ported by the Democraoy If ha was nomL nated upon an aooeptable platform by the Cincinnati Convention.

He has fine tal-entla a learned publicist, has great political and diplomatic experienoe, is dlgni (led in manner, and weuld make a Presl" dent worthy of the olden time. 1 greater contrast than between him and Grant can not be imagined. His sob, John Qcinct Adams, is a prominent Democrat, and has been on several occasions tha Demooratlo candidate for Governor of Massachusetts. One Senator Wood, a member of the up. per branch of the New Tork Legislature, it seems', last year, when Twekd and Jat Gould were in the flash times of their prosperity, borrowed 15,000 of esoh, and they were so-klsd and oonsiderate as to loan it without any seourity, although 'Wood possesses but little of this world's goods.

By a singular coincidence Senator Wood voted for the Erie Railway Bill and New Tork City Charter scheme of the loaners. A proposition was made lately in the New Tork Benate nearly all of whom arc Renublicans elected by the Re-fnrm Anti-TwxiD movement of last year to expel Wood. Thie was voted down by fifteen to twelve. Amorgthe fifteen were thirteen Republican and two Democrats. A resolution was adapted de daring that Senator Wood's financial transactions wers Improper and unreasonable, but that they constituted no offense against tha prlvllere of the Senate" the transaction having taken place in the last and not the present Benate.

This shows that tha Republican Legislature of New York la disposed to be very mild on Tweed, and lndi cates tha peculiar character of the Reform viotory. The late Grant Bute Convention la Pennsylvania has Inspired Tery general disgust by the character of its proceedings. Before the Convention met the Harrisburg oorretpondest of tha New Tork 7i6un stated that it was all "set up" that General Hartranft would be nominated for Governor. Even Cameron, who brought out the General, was frightened at his unpopularity, and at the eleventh hour tried to liduce him to withdraw his name. The reasons given are that Cameron Is afraid to carry Hartranct any further slnos the piblloatlon lately mads respecting him the white washing by the War Claims Blttee haying been offset by their sweeping censure 6t State officials.

J. W. Forney, in bla Philadelphia Pren, says that "it is mast Inauspicious selsotloa made by a State Ring, and Inviting defeat, for a superhuman effort will be required to elect him." He says that tha State Central Committee had no authority to authorize the Convention to appoint the delegates to Grant's National Convention. Hs claims tha the delegates fmm Phlladtlphla "have no In fluenoe, exoept with rogues and bummers of their own stripe." Finally hs calls for an Independent movement to eleot another set of delegates to the Grant Convention. This shows that things ars working la the old Keystone State, and are wo king right.

If the Democracy and the Liberal Republicans oonoentrate upon Colonel McClure for Governor, he will be eleoted in October by 60,000 majority, and the Grant ring will receive a blow that will be irreparable. TJncbastaned by Fir. This is the age of fast living, and all things show it. Live snd be merry, for tomorrow you die, appears to be the general aphorism. Sated with ordinary things ths giddy world feels olaie, calls for something new, snd taxes ingenuity to devise It, In no two oitles is this more apparent than in Chloago in the New Paris In the Old, both of whloh have not bun chat-ttned by flrt.

Here in the interior of the West, however, wa are less volatile, yet do not Ignore pleasure. In the young Northwestern city the goddess is bold and rude; while in tha French capital aha is refined sndcommeil faut (ass goddess ought to be). In the one city the, ckro-roonl dash along the streets, bifurcated on horseback; while in ths other they gather at tha Mabllle Garden to figure in exciting danoei, sip champagne snd claret, and ohat in a strain too free and easy to be translated into English for these columns. La Mabllle is only one in twenty or thirty similar plaoes in Paris, soma of which are still more unchaste than that famous resort; for lnstanoe, there la the dostrie da Lilas, better known as Bulller, a little beyond the garden of the Luxembourg. Bulller is the most gaj ly decorated ball-room in Paris, and, being under the patronage of ths medical students of the University, (who wers lightly bled in the late thssoene of the wildest revelry, on certain nights.

It Is here that the Can-Can is danoed with ths freest abandon. The danoe is of Persian origin, we think, but Ten the sensuous Orientals did not dream of the "ar. llatlo" pai which the French have added to the original measure. To tip off a verdant young man's hat wiJ the toe of their boots Is ons of the admired pat of ths fair sex who mingle in this mazy danoe. As ths Can-Can is danced by 1,000 to 3,000 persons at time, it may be sees that ths French city far outdoes in the danoe, at least, its young American imitator.

Chicago has no Champt Elyitu in whloh to dance exciting sets, but it has its and, or. lager-blerlaa re. eorts, in the latter of whloh there is room for hundreds to caper and waits. There, ths German blonde waltxes as if a German head could not grow dizzy, but her drapery is not scant, nor does she lift it. It is true, that on the stage of that city, the danoe claims mora license, and now and then the ladies in the parquet and boxes think it propeto interpose their fans between the elevated aad nude limbs af ths ianteute and their own modest eyes, but this is not often done; snd, if they raise their fans, they also peep oyer them.

In all other respects, Chloago is as fast as could be leasonably expeoted of ao young a city. Not few and far between are its abodes of "passional recreation," though the firs haa thinned them. In tils aphera wa are less fast, thank fortune, and wa wish to maintain the same equal pace in the race of life, for there is no resson to envy the speed of Chicago. A general spirit of Industry here oheoks immorality; and virtue holds prostrate tha siren of vice. -The social aril is here less glaring than to the east of us and along the Atlantlo seaboard.

Let us mark the effects of fast living in this country. The young man grows old at ths age of thirty and dies at forty, or five years later. He does not, In general, marry until lata in life, aad begets two sickly -children at most, while the German has a ruddy little brood of some half a dozen "tow-heads." It Is so also with the Chinese who are pouring into our Paolflo States and overspreading the land. These will increase and multiply at a great' rate, and become the dominant raoe of the Paclflo country. If we would avoid tha danger of being, in the course of time, outvoted by and trodden under the feet of these Aslatto hordes, our young men must give up fast living-must "pull up," as they say marry early in life, raise average families, and, above all, live the time allotted to man-not half that time.

The Cleveland Leader says that wa owe the present Liquor Law, making liquor-sellers snd property-holders responsible in damages to wives whose husbanda may have imbibed too much of the stimulant (perhaps by collusion with the husband) to Mi. Adair, of Carroll County. He was violently opposed, during the eleotlon, by a couple of saloon-keepers, and, in order to have a personal revenge on them, he struck at ths whole fraternity throughout the State. The Leader does not seem to giro Mr. Adair muoh credit for any violent manifestation of temperanoa prinolplea, and, in this, it all accounts art true, it is correct.

Ws have beard of soms tsote attending the introduction of this famous measure of Mr. Adair which confirm the Leader' alstcments. On the night succeeding tha day of the introduction of ths bill Into the House Mr. Adair showed that he had no constitutional aveislon to King Aloohol by parUklng of an unusually large quantity of ihe contraband beverage while playing a well-known game of hazard at cards at tha Nell House it lumbus, which game continued until daylight next morning. Our informant was preeent and saw that whloh we have herein stated, It is quite fra-qusntly the cue that those who Intro-duce TemperanoA laws are tha greatest contemners and violators of thim.

For instance, ex-Governor Co NRY, of Maine, who signed tha most stringent enactment that was ever passed into a law prthlblting ths use of liquor, wis a regular drinker. A friend of ours in this citj, who wss In Augusta the Stat it.i tt tim tha law was Dasied and elgned-frequenUf had tha honor of parUklng of the hospitality of the Governor's household in good, strong Nsw England rum punohel. Practice is one thing, and precept another. The Court of Appeals of New Tork has decided that tha Court of Speolal Sessions wss Improperly organized, and ths Superior Court hss deolded that the Court of General Sessions Is unconstitutional. Itseemsthat the law required that the latter Court should begin its term on ths first Monday of svsry month.

But in November, 1871, Instead of adjourning on the 80th, whloh was Thursday, oyer until Monday, it actually oontlnued in session on Friday and Saturday, snd then' went on, on Monday ss before. Tha Court of Special Sessions wss declared unconstitutional because for the last year there had been but one Justioe on it Instead or two. These trifling technicalities release from Imprisonment about six hundred thieves, piokpookete, roughs, snd dock rats, snd they oan never be prosecuted again for their old offenses. The onlyxonsolatlon, snd it is a very grim one to the New Yorkers, Is that these socundrels, thus relessed In a batch, win soon be guilty of new depredations snd find themselves sgaln in duranos Tile, The New York World says their city Courts resemble nothing so muoh as a paroel of pots set afloat in a cellar by a high tide. Each bobs on its own hook, and every now and then two bang together, and the lesser pot breaks.

There is one lesson taught by ths late destructive floods in the rivers in this State, and that la tha extreme danger of wooden bridges. For lnstanoe, a frail structure above Morrow, Warren County, gave way, oams down with great foroe, nearly unbroken, struck the bridge there, knocked it down, and the two together swept on to Loveland. There they first encounteied the splendid iron county bridge lately put up, whloh for a time was In great danger, and then struok the Marietta Railroad bridge, and so injured it that it will have to be taken down and rebuilt. Had that given way all the bridges below would have gone by the board, for such was the sizeof its upper wood-work that It would not have passed in the flood without fatally striking them. If an iron bridge gives wsy it immediately slnke, snd that for ths time is the end of It.

It Jeopardizes nothing below it. Itcanthen be raised and replaced at comparatively small expease. But the old-faahloned covered wooden bridge is a perpetual menaoe to all the bridges, both of Iron and wood, below it. Thus for cheapness and economy the iron bridges are preferable, and no more wooden structures should be put up, either by counties or corporations. Theodore Tilton, in his newspaper called the Golden Age, in New York, has found a worse thing about General Grant than "his chronic stupidity and politloal Insagacity." He tells us that "it is not tha sppelntment of his half Imbecile and half knavish relatives to the offloes whloh they disgrace." Neither Is it his oonnlvanoe at corruption, his patronage of thieves, his constant advertising for a polley and never adhering to it when alopted, nor to hla vulgar tastes and low assooIaUons.

Mr. Tilton thinks the coqn try might tolerate that, but it can not submit to "his fearful usurpation of power and patronage." It la Mr. tilton's opinion that, if ha oan carry the Convention by cash now, he oan carry ths country four years henoe by oannon, snd he calls upon the Republican party "to throw the usurper from its shoulders in soorn, and sweep his oreatures from its councils ss so muoh offal." This is pretty plain talk from one of ths ablest of the leaders of the most advanced branoh of the Radical party, and it shows how Intense ths disgust Is when so strong a partisan as Mr. Tilton gives expression to it in suoh terms. Senator Alcorn, a Republican United States Senator from Mississippi, late Gov ernor, ssys that in his Judgment not one- tenth of the Internal Revenue tax that has been oolleoted in North Mississippi ilnoe the clcse of the war cotton tax and Internal Revenue tax of all kinds has found its wsy into the Treasury of the United States.

As a little Illustration of how things are managed down there, he says "Why, air, last year a man appointed Internal Revenue Collector for the Northern Dlstrlot of Mississippi defaulted for all he oolleoted. His ball was not worth a cent; It wu straw ball; and I believe at least I am told upon what I oonoeive to be good authority that a little while before he failed for all of It he came here and got six thousand dollars of revenue stamps and sold them, and that la all gone; and not a dollar haa gone Into the Treasury. I do not see how the Government can Improve this until men of a different character ars sent there to bold office. There are those who, admitting the great corruption and rottenness whbh no characterize the management of the Republican party, yet believe that a reform is practicable within the organization. Men qf experience and thought see the utter folly of the idea, and recognize the truth that the reform must come from the outside of that which is affected.

Colonel Frbd Hecker, a leading German Republloan journalist, thus puts the case suoolnotly snd truthfully. Bessys: HNi ver, la the history of any nation, has a process of purification of a dominant party taken place within that party, either In Church or Bute." "One thing Is most clear to everv thoughtful an, via If the ship of this Republlo continues the course upon which It Is now steering, It can not escape the fate of former Republics, but must go to destruction, notwithstanding It has been thus far a haven of refuge for human freedom." The great mus of the German population are fairly or that idea. Thoy are for lopping off ths diseased member. The New York Legislature haa passed an aot requiring a registry or voters in all cities and towns that have 10,000 people and upward. It is a Republloan ptrty measure.

Experietoe has shown that a registry does not operate so muoh to exclude Illegal as to keep out or the box legal voters, who are dlsfrsnohlsed by the loss of time and the trouble which ia required in theeflectlngof the registration. Tne greatest ft and la New Tork and la Philadelphia hava been committed under the registry. Thousands of rascals have personated and Toted for men whose names were on the registry, and who, but for that, wotld not hais suooe eded la getting their APRIL 15, 1872. totes in. 'Our elections are already too complicated, and ao party la Ohio would dare to advocate a registry law.

It appears, from official figures, that ths Government has sold over $138,000,000 worth of old army stores between 1806 and 1870. Ths Navy Department has sold over 860 vessels. Who bought this immense amount of property, how muoh tha loss upon It wss to ths Government, and what hu been done with the money, are questions upon which tha people are not informed. The War and Navy Departments, though oalled upon by Congress, decline to gire any definite information. One thing is certain.

This money wss not put In the general Treasury. was gWen to the Quarter-master's Department, and was used, It is olalmed, to "pay the indebtedness of that Department." No figures are shown beyond this mere Tsgue statement. Other bureaus, whloh hava reoeived con-slderable sums, make the sams plea; yet ws have "deficiency bUla" passed by Congress for their Indebtedness, and the annual appropriations for all these departments are Immense. In this sale of old military stores, and in the distribution whloh has been made ol its proceeds, there lurk the most glgantio frauds, whloh, when wa have a change of Administration, will be made apparent. Immense as have been the standing armies in Europe, hitherto, of tha great powers, they are.lt seems, to be prodigiously added to.

The success of Germany in the French war, by the number and discipline of her troops, has produoed a frightful emulation. Russia proposes a system by whloh she increases her military strength from 1,300,000 now, to the almost fabulous number of men. Germany, whloh bis had 1,200,100, will add 400,800 more. Frahoe proposes to have 1,400,000 men prepared (or an emergency. Italy Intends to have 700,000 or 800,000 ready for the field, and Turkey will increase her levies from 400,000 to over 000,000.

In all, the armies of Europe sre to be Increased from 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 of men. A few years experienoe of suoh vast establishments will be dearer in cost worse everywsy than an Immediate, bloody war, If it could be followed by their destruotlon.Itls these armies thatoon-etltute the main oppression in Europe.and to destroy them should be the fundamental aim of all reforms. Napoleon once proposed a genersl disarming or all the powers, and it was favorably received 'by them all except Prussia, which then contemplated the ambitious scheme that she has slnoe oar-rled out. Aa long aa one great power is heavily armed, the others consider It necessary, In self-defense, to bethessme. One of the most Justifiable of all wars would be that of the powers In favor of disarmament to compel these against It to adopt the same poliovj One of the prettiest illustrations of the able management of Beoretary Robeson in the Navy'Department is his superb contract in regard to the United Btates frigate Tennessee, so well known for its connection with Grant's San Domlnge soheme.

Some friends or the Administration had a contract for the engines. They only cost seven hundred thousand dollars. When the Tennessee got back from San Domingo it wu ascertained that that trip had used up the engines. So a oontraot was mads with Mr. John Roach for a three hundred thousand-dolllar set.

He was to reoelre, however, the new seven hundred thousand-dollar engines in part payment. These terms were suggested by Roach and accepted by Robeson. The probability is, the same engines will be put back after trifling repairs, and that the three hundred thousand dollars will be divided between the contractor and his Washington friends In the Department. Mrs. Fair's new trial will begin on the 24th of June.

A letter to the Boston Globe says that publio feeling h.as experienced a change favorable to her, and that every thing seems to foreshadow her final acquittal. She is reported to be worth' 130,000, and it is said that during a reoent excitement in stocks she was largely interested, and made over $20,000 clear. The Boston Traveler expresses the opln-ion that "the Internal politico of the Key-stone State are little understood outside or Ita borders, and we sometimes suspect that her own good people do not quite understand the Influences that make and nnmsVa her party leaders."

Perkins, who i ws a commodious bouse oa MoOee street He represented himself to be an attorney-at-Uw from Bleubenvllle, Ohio, bad recently been mar-rled and started Wet for the purpose of going Into business. Having ao eredentials or references to show In substantiation of hla stor, Mrs. Jerkins declined to lease him ber house without some collateral security: but offered to furnish him with a suits of three furnished rooms whenever hla wife and bimstlf might deem it proper to do so. In a lew days alterward the young man called again In company with a pretty, vivacious, chatty little woman, evidently his senior by ten years. Tbey 7ave their names as Mr.

and Mrs. Frank P. ioover. After boarding with Mrs. Perkins a few day, tbey finally concluded to go to housekeep.

Ing, and, after keeping house a few days, purchased the entire lot ol furniture In the house, with the understanding that it was to be paid for as soon as a certain remittance expected from Ohio sbquld arrive. A few days ago rounr Hoover received a letter bearing the Cincinnati postmark. Without a word ot explanation to the surprised landlord, the young couple parked up their baggage, paid their bill and decamped. Yesterday their sudden departure was explained by the arrival of an old gentleman at the Lindell Hotel, who at onoe made bimirlf known to the authorities as Mr. T.

B. Clark, or Columbus, Ohio. He was In searob of tbe young couple wno bad so suddenly decamped ftnni tha llcGea.atr? et boardlni-housa. He 'stated to a reporter that he was tbe father of the woman with Hoover, wno, is appears, is not Hcovur's wile, but hla wife's sister, he having deserted bis wife last winter, running off with btr elder sister. Hoover is not a lawyer, but a railroad agent formerly In tbe employ of the l'an-Handle Uailroad.

He ran off with about In Jewelry and money whloh but paramour took from her father when she fled. Tbe old man feels confident of overtaking the guilty psir, who, It appears, have started south wax a tin the Gull Uailroad. BED CLOUD. Alted-Sklnned Confidence Han Exposed-Departed Greatness. A corresponient of the Buffalo OourUr writes: "Several times within the put fortnight ths telegraph baa mane mention of the name 'Red the Bloux Chief, in connection with Indian affairs, and as holding official relations with ths Government; and late dispatches told of a Council held at Fort Laramie, between Colonel! Smith andBed Cloud, during which Bed Cloud told tbe Colonel tbat be could not prevail upon his people to restore certain stolen animals.

This trilling circumstance gives ua tbe opportunity of stating a few facta regarding tbe tawny humbug whose high-sounding name heads this paraarraph. When Ktd Cloud was inveigled to go to Washington a ftw years ago, be was Head Chief of the Sioux Nation (a nation composed of many tribes and bands). He made suoh a treaty of peace that his people considered It a complete and absolute surrender of ail their claimed rtgbta, and refused to ratify It, and have only nominally observed it as suited their convenience and opportunity. lied Cloud returning to bis people waa deposed from his high office, and with a few hundreds of personal aoherents settled down upon a beautl ul snot at the junction of the Laramie and North l'latte rivers, where, fed and clothed by the Government, be hu lived in idle Indian luxury with bis bar of squaws, and tbe hillsides covered with his ponies. 8ince bis retirement Grass hu paramount Influence in Sioux councils, and Bed Cloud has lust about as much to do with the direction of the affairs of hit people as Andy Johnson baa with ours.

Hs turns up every spring just before 'the grass grows' the opening season for red-devilment-as peace maker and negotiator, no doubt acting fairly In his mediation, and endeavoring to persuade hla people to stay upon their reservation and keooff the war fiatb. But he can not do any more toward keen, hg tbe peace tha this. He hu seen the east, and like a sensible Indian knows that, aa a chief of the Arrapahoet said once to the writer, 'no use buck agin white people. Too He, too, bad bten through the eastern States and saw tbe futility of fighting. But these men have little influence over tbe young braves, who mutt murder and ravish and scalp, or they feel that they have degenerated from the berolo example of their sites, but, as we aaid, lied Cloud, as a tangl.

ble, responsible Indian treaty making authority it a humbug. Tbe real chief will not come Into council or treat Tbey let Bed Cloud talk and negotiate and do as they please." HSTOL PERSUASION. A Man Married Against His Will Sues for llvaree. From the St Louli Timet A novel suit for dissolution of tne marriage tie was filed yesterday on behalf of William Fowble vs. Mary Olhausen.
